So, I placed an order online for store pick-up, having a sales rep assist me through chat. She tells me that I have to pay full retail since I am not eligible for an upgrade until 02/2015. Not what I wanted to hear, but I really wanted this phone. Boom! I place the order expecting to pay $600+. I get to the VZW retail store and the rep there notifies me that my phone and accessories are ready...$199 plus tax, plus accessories! In full disbelief, I try to do the right thing, especially making sure they were not adding another line to my account. The rep says, nope, if you do this upgrade, we'll change your contract date to begin today and you get the $199 price. I re-sign the documents and I am out the door with an extra $400 that I was prepared to give up. This phone is nice! It will take me awhile to stop knocking on it like I did with my LG G2 though. Lol!
